Life can be grand. Thanks to my dear friend, Maria, who invited me to go with her to Glen Ivy Springs Spa in Corona -- a day of relaxation, good conversation, and time together.
It was a tug-of-war with my heart whether to venture out in life. My mom is still my primary concern, but she also encouraged me to go and enjoy the day. And I did. It was so much fun. We relaxed in the pool, took in a mud bath (laughed at each other with mud on our faces :), I got a Swedish massage and Maria got a water massage, went to the grotto, a cave-like environment where they applied a mixture of aloe vera and iodine to our bodies - then sat in a steam room with this mixture on :), sat in a mineral bath (which smelled of rotten eggs - yuck - but so nice and warm-had to get all those healing energies into our bodies:), then finally joined many other customers in the lap pool and relaxed again. Ahhhh.... let's not forget the delicious salad lunch and cookies for dessert. We were so pampered -- no time (really, there are no clocks around) no cell phones (locked up :), plenty of iced water and towels. My gosh, we could ask for nothing else. :)I have decided to start a money jar labeled "Glen Ivy" for next year. "Same Time Next Year"
Right Maria? Thank you for inviting me. I needed a day like that day.

I'm glad you enjoyed the day - looked like you didn't really want to leave. Same Time Next Year sounds good to me.
I didn't. I guess it was the realization that I would be going back to reality. It felt good to be happy and just talk -- normal.
